Link Aggregation

Path: Network > LAN > Link Aggregation

Link aggregation is used to combine a number of ports together to make a single high-bandwidth data pipeline.

The controller treats all ports in a trunk group as a single port.

Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is used to negotiate a dynamic aggregated link between the controller

and another network device that supports 802.3ad. For this to work, the controllers must comply with LACP to

allow negotiation of the aggregated link.
